thanks GR, that last "band" made my eardrums explode. That kid sounds like he's gargling with his nose. That was painfully awful. I think that "song" is tied with that morse code game as one of the most annoying things on GR :P

Wow. I didn't think Black Out was going to be that bad, but sadly it was.

And as someone who saw Architecture in Helsinki, I can say they look exactly the same in person. Seeing a fish play the trumpet changed my life.

who told those 9 year old kids that they can sing? the kid whines throughout the entire song, and they just mash buttons randomly when they are playing.

When I was a kid, I didn't roll with the coolest dudes in school, what with our Pokemon strategy guides and discussions of Beast Wars spoilers. But if we had encountered a bunch of dorks in blue blazers singing about video games, there would have been some serious nerd-on-nerd violence.

I can't believe Dio's "Last in Line" isn't on this list...

Lady Sovereign - Love Me Or Hate Me has a bit of a Tetris thing going on.

Bit of a choon too.

Wow the Happy Up Here video is just amazing! I'm a huge Röyksopp fan actually, but I had never bothered to watch that one... glad I did though. Also love the Kelly Watch The Stars vid. And that last song was just too epic.
